X Factor Dermot O'Leary on Jahmene: 'He's a cheeky little bugger now'

X Factor hosts Dermot O'Leary and Caroline Flack have revealed that Jahmene Douglas has grown into "a cheeky little bugger" on the show.

The duo told how the seemingly timid former Asda worker used to terrorise the flamboyant and outspoken Rylan Clark before his exit.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other journalists, O'Leary commented: "One of my favourite things is watching how [contestants] grow, and Jahmene especially is a cheeky little bugger now isn't he?"

"A nice cheeky little bugger," Xtra Factor host Flack clarified. "But I really like the fact that his confidence has grown, because he was one of those people that I really liked from the start and... that hasn't changed at all."
